Climate concerns are top of mind, especially with young adults. AmeriCorps, the federal agency for service and volunteering, administers a program for adults ages 18 to 26 to help them take action. AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) is a team-based national service program that engages young adults in 10 to 11-month hands-on service experiences to develop leadership skills and strengthen communities. Forest Corps is a partnership between AmeriCorps NCCC and the United States Forest Service. The program is for young adults passionate about combating the climate crisis and protecting public lands. The first cohort of NCCC Forest Corps members will be sworn in to begin their service in mid-July.  The Forest Corps program is the first major interagency partnership under President Biden’s American Climate Corps (ACC), a new initiative to train young people in high-demand skills for jobs in the clean energy economy. On Tuesday, July 23, Ken Goodson, Director of AmeriCorps NCCC, is available to discuss the Forest Corps program and why young adult volunteers are so important.
